DESCRIPTION:Write For Rights is Amnesty International’s largest annual letter-writing 
 campaign. People all around the world write hundreds of thousands of 
 letters on behalf of individuals in urgent need of help.Through collective 
 grassroots action, you can help persuade government officials to free 
 individuals unjustly imprisoned and demand justice for past human rights 
 abuses. Our letters help convince government officials to release people 
 who have been imprisoned, support human rights defenders, stop torture, 
 commute death sentences, and end other human rights abuses. Solidarity 
 postcards to the brave human rights defenders provide messages of hope and 
 lets the individuals know they are not alone and that we are here, 
 supporting them.Over the past 24 years, more than 50 million actions have 
 been taken, and over 100 people featured in the campaign have seen a 
 positive outcome in their case.Please feel free to bring a few 
 international stamps and a few San Francisco or nature-scape postcards and 
 join in this important campaign! Pens, paper, envelopes, and template 
 letters will be provided!\n\nWRITE A LETTER, CHANGE A LIFE! Gavrilah Wells, 
 is a San Francisco based human rights and social justice advocate. She 
 coordinates AIUSA's local San Francisco chapter (AIUSA Group 30) and is a 
 State Death Penalty Abolition Coordinator for California. Raised by an 
 Amnesty volunteer-activist-poet mom, she learned early on about everyday 
 activism and the power of calling out injustice. In 1985 she learned the 
 impact of letter writing firsthand when she met former prisoner of 
 conscience, Boris Mukametshin, at a gathering in her own backyard.\n
